<b>Browns(Bernie Kosar)Fan</b> (he was a Dolphin, too) hit it right on when explaining visual backtest concept of trade method tools. I've personally written hundreds of mechanical systems, and only two have ever walked forward thru several years' time with profitable performance. Both are...

Excellent, excellent advice!

Then let's get long ahead of it :>)

<i>"Funny how ITrade hasen't responded to anyones comments?"</i> Did anyone take <b>IT's</b> post seriously? Sure looked like a deliberate hook-line-sinker toss to bored ET'ers from here :>)

The only time I watch CNBC is ahead of FOMC events. Other than that, why bother? What they cover is 100% useless for traders of any kind. Spend the same time watching charts... everything needed to know for success is in there :>)

Excellent!!! Bring on the increased volume & volatility :D

<i>"Even better, use that 25k, buy a car, get some good dating guides and pick up a girl. That is a much better way of spending 25k rather than gambling it, which is what ur proposing."</i> When I was in my early 20s (a couple decades ago) I spent most of my cash on beer, fast cars and wild...

Welcome aboard, <b>ITrade</b>. Everything sounds perfectly fine to me... proceed as planned :p

<b>gutsy</b>, you are not immune to a heart attack, stroke or other debilitating illness with the degree of stress & turmoil endured in your recent past. I have no doubt you could be a very successful trader... once your life is on track physically and mentally. Until then, it is impossible...

<i>"Other than ultra-short term scalping... The only way to produce "consistent" returns is to be an expert and obsessive hedger."</i> That is a common opinion voiced by many, but it is 100% false. If there is one, just one person who is trading directional and making a profit, that...

<b>gutsy</b>, please permit me to take a stab in the dark here. You are under a lot of self-induced performance anxiety. You need to succeed in trading, you have a deadline and you have firm monetary objectives to target. That type of internal pressure is imprinted on your subconscious. It...

I'm not an advocate of chemicals, but I do have some long-time acquaintances that grow their own high-grade indica strains here in the bottom lands of western NY state. These guys are totally stressed out and panic ridden while helicopters fly in September or cool weather threatens heavy...

<i>""ok, my heart beat is over 100, I'm feeling super stressed, and I have a knot in my stomach."</i> <b>Gutsy,</b> those feelings are a physical response to some inner emotion. If not based on fear, then what? Sounds like a borderline panic attack to me. In your opinion, what could cause...

<b>Pabst</b>, cutting a potential big loss short is very important... an act every single one of us wishes we had done more than once in our trading past. Congrats on that critical accomplishment!!! Or maybe I'm the only one here who ever had such regret of letting small losses run :eek:

<i>"ok, my heart beat is over 100, I'm feeling super stressed, and I have a knot in my stomach. I'm thinking about them but they seem to be kicking me right now. I want to feel relaxed and a disengaged observer. How do I get to the point where they weaken?"</i> Stop holding an emotional...

<b>Pabst</b>, with all due respect, what would your recent performance look like had you taken long trade signals instead? Did your method / system generate buy signals any time since you opened the initial shorts? Just curious, that's all :>)

btw <b>lescor</b>, I really enjoyed your post on another thread in this forum about teaching your sister-in-law to trade. Absolutely wonderful story! Great to hear she is up +/- 500% since inception, and I know plenty of men right here (and elsewhere) would be thrilled if their wives could...

Consistent success for me required at least two decisions: hold each trade for max potential profit, and likewise accept what the market has to offer at any moment in time. I use a filter chart to gauge directional strength / lack thereof. When price action appears to be making a directional...

Nice pics... Mrs. Rennick has never looked finer!

<b>ZZZZZZzzzz</b>, thank you for sharing that post about the MTV Generation teen movement. Add to the profile that most of them are fat/obese, smoking - drinking - drug - abuse and zero exersize along the way. In addition to that, most of them want their own Bentley and CD contract by 18... just...
